Only for 380/370. 390/X and fury won't have this feature I believe..

And 380/370 performs worse than 280x

AMD Radeon R9 390X in CrossFire at 4K

A single Radeon R9 390X isn't that impressive as it's just a rehashed R9 290X, but two of the new R9 390X cards in CrossFire represents great performance. With a price of $429 or so per card, you're looking at $850+ for this setup which is why we've included the performance of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti which sells for $649 and above (depending on the brand).

I'm more than impressed with what AMD is capable of here with two Radeon R9 390X cards in CrossFire at 4K, but I think the real excitement is going to be next week when the Radeon R9 Fury X arrives... we'll be running it through its paces, seeing just what HBM brings to the table.

I think a single card situation it is clear that a single r9 390X or a 980 would be good for 1440p. Or if people wanna play fast action games like FPS type can opt for 390x with a 1080p display.

And for those whom wanna go for 1080p but do not play fast action games can opt for a 970.

As for dual GPU options it makes almost no sense to Xfire or SLI as of now unless existing single card holders thinks of an upgrade and have a Xfire/SLI compatible mobo and big wattage PSU of 850w and above, to add on to whatever existing cards they have, like a dual 970 980 290x with 390x (Being 390x as the first card).

Cause it makes no sense to even buy 2 at one go.

Assuming major brands
The price for 390x x 2 is a jaw drop ~ $14XX
The price for 970 x 2 ~ $10XX
The price for 980 x 2 ~ $16XX

2x 390x performance exceeds a single 980ti and a little bit away from titanX by 5%. For that money one could just buy a single Titan X or FuryX without the need to buy big wattage PSU and a Z97 mobo.

2x 970 just managed to on par with a single 980ti. With that money yet again one can just buy a single 980ti or a FuryX

2x 980 is far worse price ratio and is the same scenario as 2x 390x.

Nvidia trumps in performance but do note the higher pricing too.

The cards are of different leagues to begin with...

>>Rebadge and overclock the 290X a bit until it can barely overclock any more, with higher power consumption
>>Add another 4GB which it won't touch except in 4K scenarios where it already chokes so bad that having extra RAM won't matter
>>Name it 390X and sell it for significantly higher price
>>"It's a winner!"

Really?
